TIL 1010 4,722 Posted August 21, 2015 Something tells me Winky is on a wind up unless i have missed something. Nothing in 2015/16 season ticket and priority membership pack that was sent out and nothing on the website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted August 21, 2015 Apologies to Winky just found it on the news page of the club site. Pay up including 2018/19 season at your January 2015 price either in full or spread over 6 months.Sorry i doubted you Winky but this is a complete turn around by the club as when Mr.McNally arrived 3 and 5 year season tickets were stopped.

TIL 1010 4,722 Posted August 21, 2015 Oddly worded as in the opening sentence it says ''season ticket holders have a limited time''.............so i assume all 20 odd thousand of us then at the end it says.................''There is only a limited number available'' which tends to suggest first come first served until they reach a certain number who cough up but not the 20 odd thousand.

On the face of it these two paragraphs look contradictory:Whilst season ticket prices have remained at the same rate for the past four years, this is an opportunity to guarantee those same great prices for the next three years. The three-year season ticket will reflect the best price available for your age category at the beginning of each respective season and will change reflecting that.What looks like a guarantee of frozen prices over three years (ie what in effect what we had before) in the first para doesn''t look like that in the second para, with the comment about prices changing every season. It is not entirely clear to me how this is a different deal, but no doubt the ticket office will explain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In effect it will be a concession, in the way OAPs pay less. But in this case a potentially lower price for promising to be a season-ticket holder for three years. Or not...

Leedscanary 337 Posted August 22, 2015 I think you''re all looking into this too much. If they are asking you to pay for a 3 year ticket either now or in 6 monthly payments then the price of your ticket will be paid now, guaranteeing you will pay no more money until the start of the 2019/20 season.The age group thing will mean if you cross over from a junior to an adult or an adult to an oap then the ticket office will work out the pro rata price. That''s how it reads to me anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leedscanary 337 Posted August 22, 2015 So essentially, if you have a spare couple of grand - you can save a bit of money by buying your next 3 season tickets now at the same price as you have paid for the last 4 years. Everyone else - see it as fair warning that ST prices will be rising (considerably?) when the renewals go out in January Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted August 22, 2015 Just coughed up £1651.50p for the next 3 years and was told that i was not the first this morning and that the press release should not have stated ''There is only a limited number available''. The best price available sentence means as long as you remain in your current age category it will stay at the 2015/16 price you paid but moving into another category during the 3 year offer means your price will alter.

Lewis DW 11 Posted August 22, 2015 I know I''m with the majority here... I just don''t understand this. So I have to pay for three years worth of season tickets within 6 months, as opposed to paying per season on a monthly basis...And this is a clear indication that prices are going to go up...So the club are rewarding the richer fans, who can afford to pay early and punishing those who can''t.Also why do the club ''need'' this money? By recent standards - were absolutely rolling in it. Unless they''re planning on buying Messi?I find this whole offer confusing... Something is in the pipeline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something is in the pipeline[/quote]Probably, IF we stay in the Premier League. But we could theoretically end up in League Two. In which case prices will almost certainly have fallen. And it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that we will spend the next three seasons in the Championship. Anyone stumping up the cash now, as I intend to, will be taking a risk that they end up over-paying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted August 23, 2015 So Tilly, do you remain within your current age category over the next 3 years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted August 23, 2015 I was going to say I''m not sure that this is really about the money, however, having done some calculations, it quickly became apparent that this could indeed be about the money. Even if (for example) only 20% of ST holders take up this offer, the club gets quite a significant lump sum of cash in one hit.If it is indeed about the money, then one has to ask the question why?Are we a bit cash strapped, and are we desperate to not take out a loan of any description, even short term ones?All of the premier league money doesn''t come at once, at the beginning of the season. But this still doesn''t explain why we would be cash strapped?As has already been mentioned, a star striker on high wages, those wages would need paying over the full contract length, so what happens when you reach year 2, year 3 etc? However once we are in year 2 & year 3 and provided we are still in the Premier League obviously, the amount of extra TV income would more than cover the loss in annual ST revenue due to those who paid for 3 year ST''s.Is the club planning some kind of redevelopment of CR? Do you really think that the club would try to tie as many people into 3 year ST''s as possible and then announce something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
